Eyelid Lift

If you have saggy, puffy eyelids or typical signs of aging in the eye area, an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) could be right for you. Many candidates who want an eyelid lift are concerned about how tired they look or about how their eyelid hangs down creating that tired look. This procedure removes fatty pockets under and around the eyes and eliminates the excess skin from that area, hence creating a more youthful appearance.

Eyelid Lift Surgery

Dr. Wendel will perform the upper or lower eyelid lift using anesthesia in a fully accredited Nashville surgical facility. Minor eyelid lift can sometimes be performed in the office. Next, Dr. Wendel will make an incision either below or above the eyelashes or on the inside of the eyelid to avoid any obvious scars. He removes the excess fat and skin from the eyelid area and pulls the skin upward to create a tighter appearance. He sutures the area and once the surgery is complete, Dr. Wendel will go over eyelid recovery instructions, in order to minimize any discomfort. [Post-op Eyelid Instructions]
